Economic growth in the Middle East has been well documented over the last decade. Recently the global economic downturn has had a severe effect on locations such as Dubai, with the jobs market shrinking extensively.
Despite this opportunities do still arise in the region, especially within Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar creating ideal career avenues for tax professionals looking for a new challenge in this highly competitive region.
The Role
Currently, we are looking to appoint a Senior International Tax Manager for our client, a Big 4 firm in Qatar.
As a Senior International Tax Manager, your primary focus will be advising global companies on the regional and international tax implications of their operations. The role will involve:
? Delivering innovative tax planning ideas
? Managing the work of your team and identifying opportunities for further innovative ideas
? Dealing with Blue Chip clients, where the client base covers several industries including energy, banking and telecoms
The Experience
It is essential that the Senior Tax Manager possess the following:
? At least 7 years tax experience
? A broad exposure to international tax gained at a Big 4 firm
? The ability to effectively manage and motivate a team
? Excellent analytical, technical and tax accounting skills
Why Qatar?
The main and most likely attractive benefit of working in Qatar will be the highly competitive tax free salary on offer.
Another attractive quality of the Middle Eastern countries are that they are the quintessential home of sand, sun and shopping. You can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe inspiring sand dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to ultra modern shopping malls.
Across the region there are large expat communities and plenty of recreational activities to cater for most tastes including golfing, sailing, rugby and health and fitness facilities. There are also opportunities to partake in more local activities, such as ?Wadi Bashing? (four-wheeled driving) or shopping in the world famous souks.
